“Muted but elegant. Dry and fresh. Decent complexity. Leesy and restrained. Not as fruity as most; more mineral style.”

“The 2007 Village Chardonnay is Kumeu’s entry-level wine: crisp, lively and citrus on the nose, vivaciously and vibrant on the palate. Its quality would embarrass a lot of its compatriot flagship Chardonnays! “

“A flintiness characterizes the aromas even more than the fruit. On the palate, there are ripe peach flavors with crisp acidity that give the wine a clean, refreshing quality.”
